I am very sorry to hear of Uncle Albert's passing away. There are very few of my Father's siblings still around, and a dynasty is slowing fading. To Charlotte, Lisa and Greg: my sincere sympathy on your loss. Even though the Lopez family was usually 'scattered to the farthest parts of the world', they were close in spirit. May God welcome Albert into Heaven and may He bless our family.
